I got together with some friends yesterday and we had a good laugh talking about the one thing that many women face as they get older, hot flashes. The stigma of Menopause has lifted and there are ways to cope with or counter the side-effects of menopause. One article I came across was the Six Superfoods For Menopause:
Soy – you can find this in milk, tofu, or edamame. Aim for 20-25 grams per day.
Flaxseed – this is plant-based not an oil. You can find this in bread and cereals or get your own and ground it and put it on your cereal.
Chickpeas – add these to salad or soups, they are high in fiber.
Red Fruits and Veggies – these are high in anti-oxidants
Low or Non-Fat Dairy – as women age they are more at risk for osteoporosis, so calcium is very important.
Fish – especially ones high in Omega 3's such as salmon, mackerel and sardines.

Here's to you ladies!
